North Bengal State Railway opened a metre gauge line from Parbatipur to Kaunia in 1879. Two narrow gauge lines were laid by Eastern Bengal Railway from Kaunia to Dharla River, thereby creating the Kaunia–Dharlla State Railway. The Kaunia Dharla railway lines were converted to metre gauge in 1901. The Kaunia-Dharla line was extended to Amingaon in 1908.[1][2]
By the turn of the century, Lalmonirhat had emerged as an important railway centre. Bengal Dooars Railway constructed a line to Malbazar. Links were established with Assam, with the Golokganj-Amingaon line coming up.[1]
Prior to the partition of India, the prestigious Assam Mail used to travel from SantahartoGuwahati via Lalmonirhat.[3]
